Heh. I served on active duty from 1976 to 1996. I served with people of every description: gay and straight, men and women, every pew in God’s house and a few that weren’t, every ethnicity I can think of. There were people I admired in every identity group and people I could have lived without in every identity group.
Leadership traits have little to do with testosterone in my experience. People with drive, ambition, and devotion to duty are a lot alike whether they are men and women. That includes both their virtues and their vices; several officers who happen to be women have been disciplined for sexual relationships with subordinates and some of those probably involved a degree of coercion. Some NCOs too.
